Antiviral and antibacterial film suitable for 4Logistic IPC612 NX

Neoxum anti-viral and anti bacterial protective films are in accordance with DIN ISO 21702, respectively. DIN ISO 22196 tested against

• E.Coli bacteria
• Covid-19 viruses

• A variety of nosocomial pathogens

Why anti-Covid-19 display film when there is disinfection?

Any disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates the surface. And this is exactly where Neoxum's long-lasting anti-viral and anti-bacterial screen protector comes into play: the active coating permanently kills pathogens and permanently reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are deactivated within a matter of minutes.

Anti-Corona & Anti-bacterial effectiveness within a few minutes - 99.9% inactivation

Antiviral effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are deactivated on the anti-viral and antibacterial protective film for 4Logistic IPC612 NX. The following summary clearly shows that, for example, 99.9% of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses on the surface were killed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza disease, are 99.9% deactivated after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral film. Diarrhea pathogens such as the norovirus are reduced by 99.9% after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Anti-bacterial efficiency

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coli bacteria, which cause dangerous urinary tract diseases, pathogens of blood poisoning and are feared as the cause of hospital infections, are reliably killed 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a dangerous hospital germ that sometimes leads to inflammation or purulent ulcers, serious wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of individual organs of the body, such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even severe blood poisoning (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Tested according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The antiviral and antibacterial effect over a period of minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 using accredited testing laboratories. The exact test results of the laboratory tests can be downloaded in the download area.

Survival time of the corona virus on various surfaces

Statement by the RKI on the relevance of disinfection of PC hardware and touch displays

The Robert Koch Institute already defined the importance of touch displays and computers in infection prevention in its statement of April 5, 2019:

Current findings from research by the CSIRO (Australia's government agency for scientific and industrial Research)

The following figure illustrates, according to a cutting-edge evaluation by the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) = Australia's government agency for scientific and industrial research) from October 2020, that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can survive on different surfaces for a longer period of time and remains infectious.

Anti-COVID-19 effect of the Neoxum AntiVir protective film

The surface of the stable touch film suitable for 4Logistic IPC612 NX is equipped with a new, patented virus-killing and bacteria-killing surface layer. Chemicals that may trigger allergies are completely avoided. Rather, the focus is on the anti-viral and antimicrobial effect of copper, which has been used since ancient times.

Antiseptic and anti-bacterial activity of copper

Copper ions, embedded in an incredibly long-lasting matrix, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and produce reactive oxygen molecules.

If germs such as bacteria or viruses (COVID-19, Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, a variety of nosocomial pathogens, E. coli, adenoviruses, influenza viruses or noroviruses) come into contact with the active anti-viral and antibacterial coating of the display film for 4Logistic IPC612 NX, a so-called redox reaction is set in motion. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the copper ions, embedded in the anti-viral and antibacterial coating, and form very virulent active intermediate species that attack and deactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely efficiently. The exposed virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is accessible and deactivated immediately. a large number of resistant pathogens, Noroviruses, influenza viruses, E. coli, adenoviruses, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and SARS-CoV-2 are effectively killed and are no longer contagious.

Permanent disinfecting reaction on the 4Logistic IPC612 NX screen

The reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between Cu(I) and Cu(II) in the course of their virus-killing effect. The active copper ions do not become inactive, but are repeatedly available for progressive surface disinfection. The antibacterial and antiviral layer has a virucidal effect for up to 12 months and automatically destroys viruses and bacteria within a few minutes without the use of additional disinfectants.

Transmission of infections

Pathogens transferred from person to person

If an infected person sneezes into the palm of their hand, the infectious pathogens remain on the inside of their hands. If the infected person now shakes hands with another person, the pathogens could be transmitted further. If this person then puts their hand to their mouth, nose or eyes, they will become infected with the virus or bacteria via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus via surfaces

SARS-CoV-2 viruses can even stick to objects. It is not only care institutions such as clinics, nursing homes and retirement homes that are exposed to the increased risk of influenza infection. Pathogens can also survive on touchscreens of POS kiosks, portable payment systems, drinks machines, TV sets, cash registers, cell phones and iPads.

Bacteria & viruses are passed on via the hands. We definitely touch our faces with our fingers many times a day. This means that pathogens migrate unnoticed from the contaminated surface of the 4Logistic IPC612 NX via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 viruses can be transmitted in this way.

Neoxum virucidal and antibacterial screen protectors are also active against numerous other pathogens
